MSI Unveils Penryn-Powered Wind 200 Notebook

wind-u200Taiwanese manufacturer Micro-Star International has launched yet another Wind product, dubbed the U200. Featuring a 12-inch screen and an Intel Penryn processor, it’s technically a “notbook” (i.e. not a netbook).

Behold, the specs:

  • Display: 12 inches, 1366 x 768 pixels
  • Processor: Intel Penryn SFF ULV
  • RAM: Up to 4GB of DDRII 667/800MHz, 2 DIMM slots
  • Chipset: GS45 + ICH9M-SFF
  • Connectivity: 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, Ethernet
  • Storage: 2.5″ SATA 160GB or 250G hard drive
  • Graphics: Intel GMA 4500MHD
  • I/O: HDMI, D-sub, 3 USB ports, mic input, headphone output, 4-in-1 card reader
  • Webcam: 1.3MP
  • Battery: 3 or 6 cells
  • Dimensions: 11.7″ x 7.5″ x 1.2″
  • Weight: 3.1 pounds

NetbookNews.de took pictures and video of the U200 at its launch event and said overall the notebook isn’t much larger than a 10.2-inch netbook. The keyboard is roomy, and the trackpad is “kind of small for a system of that size.” If you’ll recall, the puny trackpad is the worst part of the MSI Wind U100, which both Charlie Sorrel and I own. It appears MSI hasn’t improved much in that particular area.

No word yet on an official release date or pricing, but we’re going to guess around $700. Check out a video featuring the U200 below the jump.
